    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Inquiry BallBids.com?

BallBS is feeding into people's aspirations of getting rich quick on the BP morph of the month craze. People see an opportunity for a cheap morph, and their inherent avarice takes over. It's simply greed begetting more of it's own. The funniest part is that they're all gleefully paying for the privilege of being jerked around. It's a prime example of people seeing nothing more than precisely what they want to see, to justify their continued support of the BallBS scheme.

Unfortunately as we've seen in all aspects of life, as long as there are people out there willing to do bad things to get what they want, there will also be those that will go to the ends of the earth to defend them.

Those are the people that the bad ones rely and thrive on. The ones that absolutely cannot accept the truth that is right in front of them, because to do so would be to admit that there really are people out there that are that bad and that are willing to hurt others for their own personal gain with no sense of remorse. And these people just aren't capable of that; they need to hold out hope and try to see the best in people, even when it's not there.

I absolutely agree with you both. I also think that Zack truly believes he is doing something good. Unfortunately, as his programmer Marty pointed out, he is a hot head and has poor business sense. Had he approached the community with a little humility and TRUTH, I think people would have been more accepting. He never admitted we were correct about being illegal in KY, instead, he just registered elsewhere and continued with the deceit and lies.
Now, he has ruined any chance of being taken seriously and once people get tired of playing his games, they too, will turn away from BallBs.

It's pretty sad really. The idea had potential. Unfortunately, it's in the wrong hands and I am completely confident this is just the beginning of his failure.
 
His choice of programmers did not help any either. Whether he has a stake in the company or not, Marty has continued to prove he is just a childish underhanded person who has done more to hurt the company's rep then any of us ever could. If Zack had taken the tone he is presenting now, from the start, and not relied on Marty and Daddy to represent him, I feel he might have had a chance of pulling his scheme off.
 
Now they have stooped to reporting FB posts that say bad things about them and Facebook is removing them and banning the posters with no more explanation then a link to there Rules. Not even stating what rule has been violated. I personally am still 3 hours out on my 24 hour ban from posting for using screenshots of what Marty himself has posted. Can't really understand how showing his own words is attacking him? Just shows he will use any measures necessary to block opposing views where his customers might actually see.

This thread has had over 72,000 views. That means despite Ballbids attempts to restrict what potential customers see, and put their best spin forward, many have been here. I'm hoping that each of the readers (hello, guests, and welcome!) refer others, so that prior to bidding, all can read this thread and make up their own mind.

Unfortunately the only way to stop them from reporting your posts, is to make the page closed.

I find their behavior childish and VERY unbusiness-like. It is a shame that those "adults" cannot conduct themselves in a professional manner.

It is very telling of them and their ethics that they have stooped to reporting others words, for fear that they will lose customers, when it is their own behavior and lack of business acumen that has led to the loss of customer base.

The shoddy programming, the vile words and accusations from the partners & the father are their downfall.

I disagree with penny auctions to start with, they are a way to get money from those who work hard ... add in live animals and my dislike rises.

Zack Byers saw this as a way to get rich quick with very little effort or investment, he is finding it isn't quite that easy. He and his partners went about this the wrong way & started out on the wrong foot, by angering those who may have been their support.

Then you have the father, Mark Byers, who in his own words has nothing invested other than defending his sons business. Which I call bs on. The attacks he makes and the rhetoric he spews, are at odds with his claim that he isn't financially vested in his sons venture.

So in other words, you have an angry, socially inept young man who cannot communicated with his peers, without attacking them and pissing everyone off; a "programmer" who couldn't program himself out of a wet paper bag, who also has an ego that far surpasses his abilities and a father who is angry, unethical and willing to do whatever it takes to make a quick buck (which IMO, is where Zack learned his morals).
 
I totally agree with this post. From the start, they have banned and bashed the same people they try to reach out to. And they still do it. People complain, they get banned.

Well, if they keep having to take losses on what they are auctioning since they can't use the 'hackers' excuse anymore... the Bee went for quite a bit under market value/cost even if you use high bid costs, and that enchi tonight was an almost total loss for them.
 
I don't see why this discussion is so ongoing..I dont see many auctions up very frequently, and Im sure what few people use the site are starting to catch on. I dont think they have much in the way of bidders, and Im betting they are on a steep decline and soon enough, their website wont be around.

And yet you chose to post.
If you managed to read the posts prior to yours, you can see that they are using new tactics, reporting any dissent to fb. That is worthy of report. Since people cannot post freely there, they come here to see what's up.
 
Oh yeah I posted. This thread has made me aware of their "tactics," not that reporting negative posts on facebook is going to do much. Neither is changing the face of their website. My point was that they are clearly on the ropes, people voicing opposition on facebook should be the least of their concern at this point.
 
I feel that as long as these guys still have ballbids going that this needs to be kept going. People need to find out about how these guys are ripping people off.
 
I am getting really fed up with my posts being reported to facebook when all i am doing is directly quoting u children! This is absurd. Do they really think im going to cry if fb supends my account? Oh boo effing hoo. Grow the hell up boys.
 
Kim, unfortunately the phone number just gets you a recorded message telling you to send them an email. I just received my 3 day ban for content on a page I have stepped down as admin from. Needless to say I'm a little p'd off. And I can't even tell them what a crock it really is.
 
I think it goes without saying, but I really appreciate those keeping up the good fight! Take the penny auctioning out of the equation and these guys are still a blight.
 
Really?!

Can anybody point out anything with this post that would warrant it being reported as inappropriate on FB? Anybody? Cause I'm really getting tired of these dweebs trying to get me banned from Facebook simply because I don't like their screwed up company and am willing to tell people I don't!
FB really needs some form of contacting an actually person to discuss these things.
